A day in the life of...Ressetti
A/N: Thanks to the first reviewer of this fanfiction- Crazy-Pairing-Girl, and to the five other people who viewed this during May (and the 9 in April... And the 6 in March... And the 5 in Febuary... And all you other people who looked at this before!) I thank you! Also, to Crazy-Pairing-Girl, I would like to tell her that I am Meggie (though I no longer live in Oz... I change towns a lot...). Anyway, here is Ressetti's day, for everybody's entertainment!
I do not sleep. I do not sleep. I never sleep when I am on my shift. I do not sleep. I never sleep. No sleeping Sonny, no slee... sleep... Sleep... It was summer time. Me, my brother Don, his wife Milly, my girlfriend Sapphy and our cousin Vinnie were playing volleyball on the beach. It was calm, and my blood pressure was at an all time low. It felt good... We were on vacation. Thanks to my pure brilliance and talks to the players, there was almost no more ressetting. I could come and go as I pleased- I even hung out with a few villagers in The Roost. Then, the volleyball began to admit a screech. A high pitched, strangling screech that reminded me of the old days, when resseting was an often occurance. I smiled. Those times were long gone.
I woke up.
The whole place was shaking. The orange alert lights were blinking. The siren was sounding. Someone was resseting.
"Oh for cryin' out loud!" I yelled at the heavens, grabbing my pick axe and heading to the tunnels. While I tunneled, I grumbled to myself. "Why me? Why now? Why do you people reset? Siren's goin' off, disruptin' my sleep, my breaks, my showers... Don't you ever rest instead of reset! Now I've got mud all over me, in places I don't even want to speak about when I'm alone!" From what I could tell, I was above the resetter. Right above them. And if my calculations were correct...
"BRONWYN!" I screamed, bursting from the ground up into the sunlight. There stood the messy, smirking young residant of Brynland.
"Yo, wassup Sonny?" She greeted.
"Don't you wassup me! I was nappin', peacful, and then you. Went. And. Resseted!" I poked her with my pick axe. "Do you know how much I hate you ressetters?"
"Very much?"
"VERY MUCH!" I told her. "I despise you all, you're so ungrateful! You think that ressetting can fix all your problems the hard way, don't you!"
"Sure they do!"
"Well, they don't! Did your whites go in with your reds? Did your TV break? Well, TOO BAD!" I thundered. "Do you KNOW what happens when you reset? DO YOU!"
"Sirens go flashing, alarms start wailing and you put your ugly face on hey, how's Don?"
"Don's fine, he and Milly are having their first pup in a couple of weeks... Hey, wait a second!" I narrowed my eyes at her, "Are you trying to change the subject? You are? Well, it didn't work! You still have to find out what happens when you reset! Sirens go flashing and alarms start wailing and I have to tunnel all this way JUST to tell you not to save!"
"Well then, I've learnt my lesson, I'll never reset again, so you can just be on your way..."
"Nuh uh, not this time! You can't say that this time! You say that all the time, I think it's time for you to say something different!"
"What do you me- Oh no..." Bronwyn was white faced. "Meggie told me about this point..."
"I want you to repeat after me!"
"OH NUTS!"
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sooo sorry."
"Not good enough. Try again, with this: You were right."
"I'm not saying that!"
"Not good enough. Try again, with this: Ressetting is wrong."
"Ressetti is wrong."
"Not good enough. Try again, with this: I won't do it again."
"I probably will though."
"Not good enough. Try again, with this: Ressetti is number one."
"Hey Bryn!"
"Pewee!" Bronwyn took a look at me, then ran off.
"BRONWYN! COME BACK HERE! BRONWYN! GET HERE, PUNK!" I screamed at her, thrashing about in my hole. My blood was boiling- I began to feel dizzy. "Deep breaths now... In... Out... In... Out..." I tunnelled back through the tunnels to HeadQuaters, where Don was sat drinking coffee.
"Hey, little brother." He nodded, slurping the java. "How are you?"
"Angry. Maddened. Annoyed. Irritated. Infuriated. Aggravated. Bothered." I grumbled, sitting next to him.
"So, normal then?" He gave a deep throated chuckle. "Really, bro, you gotta learn not to be so angry all the time, go with flow! Who was it this time? Bronwyn?"
"Of course, who else?" I rolled my eyes, "She drives me CRAZY! Always strutting around as if she owns the place, having total disregard for the rules, cheeking me, she just drives... me... MAAAAD!" I yelled to the heavens.
"Woah, calm down there, bro you'll blow an artery!" Don patted my back.
"That's not possible, Don." I replied.
"Of course it is it was on that soap Emmertail last night! Kyle fell in a pitfall seed and got so angry he blew an artery due to his blood pressure." Don laughed. "So be careful! Hey, do you and Sapphy want to come over to ours tonight? Milly's going to be making some lovley food, and it'd be good for us all to hang around again like we used to before Bronwyn moved to Brynland."
"I suppose so," I sighed. What else would I be doing?
"I like you're attitude, Sonny! Keep it up!" Don chuckled. Then, the alarms began to ring again. My eye twitched. "Woah, take it easy. I'll handle this one."
"Thanks, Don." I nodded as he headed to the tunnels. He turned at the last moment, and winked at me.
"That's okay- you should go home, take a break. I bet Sapphy would be very happy to see you." He laughed, and disapeared to who knew where. I sighed, closed my eyes, before heading off home.
"Sapphy?" I called out, as soon as I got back to the burrow we shared.
"Sonny?" Sapphy appeared from the kitchen they shared, where a lovley smell was already wafting from the oven. "You're home early..."
"I had some free time, so I thought I'd come home to surprise you. Look- I brought you some flowers!" I pulled out some red roses that I had bought on the way home from a side-of-the-road stall, 'Redd's Convieniance Store'... The roses had been very high priced... "I remembered they were your favourite."
"Oh, Sonny..." She sighed, smiling, taking the roses from me and placing them on the coffee table. "Sit down, we need to talk..."
I tunnelled through the ground, not knowing or caring where I was, or where I was were running through my mind, and frankly they weren't very elequent. How could she have... How could she do that to me? I loved her- I love her! And she... She left me, just like that. Said I was too obsessed with my work... Too obsessed? She never worked! My job funded food, and all of her expensive shopping habits... I wiped a tear off my face, and headed upwards, towards the surface. I would show her. I would show everyone, I wasn't obsessed with work, not at all... I burst out into the sunlight, and I admit that it hurt my eyes hard, I'd been underground for so long.
"Urk! Ressetti! I didn't reset this time! I promise!" Came a worried voice- worried for the first time I'd ever heard it.
"Bronwyn?" I turned, and sure enough, I had appeared just outside of her house in Brynland. "Oh..."
"You're not here to yell at me?" She now sounded confused, and I almost laughed.
"No... No... Just tunnelling."
"But you're shift isn't over yet!" She gasped, "And I know your shift! What happened?"
"I... I... Sapphy broke up with me!" I told her, and before I knew it I was crying, clear, crystal tears falling down my furry face.
"Aaw... Poor you... Do you want to talk about it?" Bronwyn asked. I shook my head. "Okay." I felt her hand patting me on the back.
"Hey Bryn!"
"Peewee!" Bronwyn replied, and her hand left my back. I shook my head, realising that she would run off with the gorilla again, like she always did... And leave me alone in my misery. "I'm kind of in the middle of something, Peewee, could you... you know?"
"Oh... Oh... Yeah, of course, lil' dude." Peewee left. And Bronwyn stayed. My broken heart throbbed a bit.
"Th... Th... Thank you..." I stuttered through my tears.
"For what?" She sounded surprised now. I looked at her.
"For staying. Anybody else would had left with their friend." She giggled.
"I am your friend! At least... I think I am, right?"
"You are the most annoying person on Earth," I replied, "But... Yeah... I guess you're my friend."
"Good." We sat in silence for a few minutes.
"Bronwyn... My brother's holding a small family gathering this evening... I was meant to take Sapphy with me but... you wouldn't mind coming, would you?" I blurted it out before I could proof-read that sentance, and I instantly regretted it- and whatever answer she would reply.
"A dinner? With the Ressetti family?" She sounded sceptical- oh no... "Oh man that'd be awesome! So epic! Can I? I bet Don sings really awesome songs, and you play... I don't know, Cluedo or something? Or Scrabble? Oh, can we play Scrabble? Can we?"
"Is... Is that a yes?"
"It's definatley a yes."
... Only the start of the better days in the life of Ressetti.
A/N: Bronwyn, from Brynland, is not of my creation. She is my friends character, on the DS. We are both working on a joint story at the moment, Animal Crossing, via Boat, please go read it!
I'm not sure who I should write about next, so... any ideas?
Please review!
